Toronto Islands

Simple fun is so rare these days. I mean, where else in Toronto can you feed a real swan and ride a fake one minutes later. There’s a great amusement park (Centreville), great bike trails, endless spots for picnics and the most unbelievable view of Downtown Toronto.

A GREAT ESCAPE FROM THE CITY NO CARS WIDE OPEN SPACES NICE CITY VIEW NO HILLS TO RIDE BIKES LOTS OF NICE COTTAGES WITH FRIENDLY CATS

18 holes ... erm ... baskets starting from the fire station headed. great water hazard on the 1st half. 18th hole is one of my favorites.

A day spent walking or biking around the islands is a great mini-vacation! Enjoy the spectacular view of the cityscape during the short ferry ride there. Then, bring a homemade picnic to enjoy on the lush grass as ridiculously carefree people around you play ultimate frisbee. Alternately, enjoy a carefree game of ultimate frisbee while others enjoy a picnic on the lush grass! And don't forget to visit the donkey and geese at Centre Island.

Summer isn't complete without a bike ride on the island

feels like you're leaving the city behind, but at the same time, there are some terrific views of the Toronto skyline. There are lots of places to stop along the way, including beaches, Centreville amusement park, and the island cottages.

it's like you're out of the city but it's still all right there for you!
